"Go see your father first," Zhao Yan said sternly.
"Okay, let's go quickly. I'll listen to you this time," Xu Wen replied.
Zhao Yan quickened her pace and ran up the mountain. Arriving at the tent on the mountain, she crawled inside.
As soon as she entered the tent, Zhao Yan felt something was wrong.
She strode to the coffin and, looking at the talismans pasted on the lid, slammed her hands hard on both sides of the coffin.
"Bang"
Zhao Yan's ears twitched slightly, and she immediately turned around, saying, "No, the coffin is too empty."
"But the talismans are still on," Xu Wen trembled.
Zhao Yan placed her hand on the coffin lid.
Seeing this, they immediately retreated several steps, their faces filled with panic.
As the coffin lid was opened, the coffin was empty.
The inner coffin at the bottom was also empty.
"Boss Xu, your father has also run away," Zhao Yan said.
"What? My father is gone too?" Xu Wen walked over in panic, looked down, and when he saw the empty coffin, he shivered in fright.
"Master Zhao, what will be the consequences if my father runs away? If we don't deal with him, it should be fine, right?" Xu Wen asked frantically.
Zhao Yan said seriously, "If your father runs away and you don't deal with him, your parents will lurk in the deep mountains and old forests, and when they are thirsty for blood, they will suck the blood of others."
"Over time, it will definitely form a great disaster, and people living nearby will be affected."
"At that time, missing person cases will be endless, and if they are found, they will likely be corpses."
Xu Wen gasped and trembled, "Then Master Zhao, if I leave Jiangcheng overnight, even if I don't deal with this matter, it won't involve me, right?"
Although he had seen Zhao Yan's abilities, seeing his parents' bloodthirsty appearance, he was truly terrified.
Now that both parents were gone, he felt even less confident, unsure if Zhao Yan could handle it.
If she couldn't, it was better to leave Jiangcheng as soon as possible.
Zhao Yan frowned tightly, "Boss Xu, this matter is very related to you. If you just leave like this and hand over the danger to others, isn't that too much?"
If she had known Master Wang was such a useless person, she would have reinforced the coffin.
Hearing Xu Wen constantly praising Master Wang, Zhao Yan thought that no matter how bad he was, he would have some effect. Now, it seemed Master Wang's abilities were completely beyond her expectations.
"If any family is harmed, I will compensate them. Master Zhao, Master Zhao, I can't control this matter. I can't just lose my life in Jiangcheng." Xu Wen said.
Zhao Yan felt speechless. She glanced at Xu Wen's neck, and the skin there had turned black.
"Boss Xu, pull up your shirt and let me see," Zhao Yan said.
Xu Wen pulled up his shirt.
Zhao Yan looked at it. A large part of his chest had turned black, spreading outwards from the center. The furthest spread reached his navel, and the closest reached his neck.
"Boss Xu, you might be about to turn into a corpse," Zhao Yan said seriously.
"Impossible, Master Zhao, how can that be? I really don't feel anything," Xu Wen said, panicking.
Zhao Yan reached out and pinched Xu Wen's chest. Seeing that Xu Wen didn't react, she continued to use more force.
"The flesh on your chest has already died, and the corpse poison is starting to spread. To survive, you must find your mother's body, knock out her teeth, grind them into powder, and apply it to the wound."
"Boss Xu, did you tear off the talisman I gave you?" Zhao Yan asked, frowning.
Xu Wen regretted it deeply and cried, "That damned Master Wang said your talismans were cheap goods worth only two or three yuan, so I accidentally tore it off."
"Oh? Did you really tear it off accidentally?" Zhao Yan asked softly.
Xu Wen panicked, knelt down with a thud, and tightly hugged Zhao Yan's leg, "Master Zhao, please save my life. I don't trust anyone else now, only you."
As he spoke, Xu Wen's mouth twitched uncontrollably to the left. He felt his fingers itching and looked down to see that his fingernails had grown a little longer.
Zhao Yan sighed, "That talisman could control the spread of Yin energy. As long as you hold on until dawn, lie flat with your chest facing the sun, and bask in it until noon, you will be cured."
"But now, the Yin energy in your body has spread, even reaching your kidneys."
"If I turn into a corpse, then my fate..."
Zhao Yan took out her peach wood sword, "If Boss Xu turns into a corpse, I will have to act on behalf of heaven."
Xu Wen's face immediately stiffened. He quickly put his hand with the elongated nails behind his back.
"Master Zhao, what are we waiting for? Let's go find my mother!"
Zhao Yan hummed softly and walked down the mountain with her peach wood sword.
Xu Wen looked at Zhao Yan's smooth neck and subconsciously swallowed. He realized his own abnormality and quickly put his hand to his mouth.
When he did, he found his teeth were slightly protruding. Thinking of Zhao Yan's words, he dared not speak about his condition.
Walking in the direction Xu Wen indicated, Zhao Yan arrived at a ditch at the foot of the mountain.
The water in the ditch was shallow. The coffin had fallen from the mountain, and the wooden planks were instantly smashed to pieces.
A man in his fifties lay flat on the ground, his eyes wide open, his entire face turned a purplish-blue.
"Master Wang!" Boss Xu exclaimed.
The two disciples behind him ran over, holding Master Wang and crying.
"Master!"
As they held him, Master Wang's pupils suddenly moved, and he raised his hand, grabbing the disciple closest to him tightly and opening his mouth to bite.
Zhao Yan's peach wood sword quickly shot out, wedging between Master Wang's teeth.
She pried with force, then kicked Master Wang's mouth.
With a "bang," she quickly kicked out all of Master Wang's teeth.
Zhao Yan grabbed Master Wang's clothes and pulled him towards her, but her knee sharply struck Master Wang's chin.
This impact directly knocked out Master Wang's teeth on the spot.
"Wake up, Master Wang!" Zhao Yan said, raising her hand and slapping him.
"Slap, slap, slap..."
They only saw Zhao Yan's hand move in a blur. These slaps landed on Master Wang's face, quickly turning it into a pig's head.
Seeing Master Wang's mouth full of blood, his teeth all knocked out, and his mouth empty, Xu Wen was so scared that he covered his mouth tightly.
Zhao Yan didn't know how many slaps she had delivered, her hand already aching.
Although Master Wang had been bitten by a corpse, he was still alive.
However, the bite was on his neck, and the corpse energy acted quickly. Moreover, a large part of his Yang energy had been absorbed by the female corpse.
It was likely that the female corpse had more Yang energy than Master Wang.
"Impossible! Why isn't he waking up?" Zhao Yan said gravely.
The male disciple beside him shouted, "Master, there's a beautiful woman!"
Master Wang's cloudy eyes immediately cleared, "Ah! Where is the beautiful woman!"
